I tried it myself, got my unlock code after 2 days and it worked! Had to revert to stock though. More instructions here http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...o-unlock-LG-Optimus-2X-P990-by-unlocking-code

Why shouldn't it be allowed? Is there some rule barring to post free unlock links I'm not affiliated with in any way? If so, I kindly ask the mods to delete this thread.
But the thread on the Optimus G forum is there since almost 3 weeks and nobody complained...

It's not illegal to unlock phones, so I think there is no problem with thread
Btw, thanks for the useful post. This should be linked on a sticked p990 "all you need to know"

It's allowed. Nobody forces you to pay dollars for unlocking and this thread is a valuable share
This is nice. I personally am quite against locking phones. Remove them shackles!
Looks good - I think people are just skeptical because usually unlock codes need to be bought (around $7.99 at the lowest), so we think "warez" when we see "free." Of course certain models like the iPhone and my old HTC Desire Z can be unlocked through pure software exploits (related to baseband) but those are more well documented.
It works! after 4 day you get 3 codes nck nsck spck. My phone was locked to telenor hungary and now it works with vodafone sim card.

I've read about privacy issues with sharing your IMEI. There is always that uncertainty that someone might do you wrong.
But from what I've read fremyblackberry has been around for more than 2 years and has tons of forum posts on different sites that confirm a satisfying service. Having said that, i think that it is unlikely that the service itself would abuse your IMEI.
However one should NEVER post IMEI-s in a public forum. I've stumbled upon forums where some user offers free unlocking by code, and users blindly race to post their IMEI hoping to get a free unlock. That way those codes can be read by the whole world, which is far more likely for them to be abused by someone.
Bottom line is, if in doubt, don't do it.
This would have been useful one month ago.
I payed just £0.99 to unlock my LG 2X anyway.
do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock?
I tried dialing 2945#*990# in CM10 and nothing happened
Hi deewhy,
Yes, you have to revert to stock first. You should do a nandroid backup before. I suppose the CM ROMs don't contain the code for unlocking SIM-locks.
After unlocking it, just restore the backup.

And can i flash the rom via CWM? Or it's necessary to do trough smartflash?
Thanks,and sorry for my bad english.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
It depends how you flash a stock ROM.
If you flash a stock rom ZIP file, you will be able to restore CM via CWM recovery.
If you flash a stock rom in .fls/.bin file, your CWM recovery will be overwritten, and it will be more difficult to reinstall CM.

Sent from my E15i using xda app-developers app
As everyone said before, it's safe as long as the phone isn't sim-locked.
However, regarding Jelly Bean -- as nobodyAtall said on his CM10 development thread, it's "a best effort to support the unsupportable" or something like that; our X8 really, really shouldn't go any further than 2.3. I'm currently on 4.0 and it leaves a lot to be desired -- 2.3 roms are *much* snappier, but for some reason I get terrible battery life on those (that's why I'm on 4.0)
How can i be sure that my phone is not sim lock.
Without inserting various sim cards,thanks

Read Bootloader unlock threads for thatv sim certificate. Everything is explained there.
Mine X8 is 11W19 and i had no problems with unlocking bootloader.
Are u seriously asking these or u are testing us.. u have been here since quite a long time and know a lot more than many of us around..
Any way you can check out the thread by spyderx on unlocking with all the methods and details or mine below for a simple one with some usefull links..
And yes i haven't heard anyone complaining about brick for the one's below 11W29, still no one can assure u on that, there are always a few chances if something goes wrong(very small chance )..
Good luck.. :thumbup:
No risk is involved, but use your brain a little bit.
Im sure you will be happy after unlocking ur bootloader.
Hey, ur not a noob, though its ur choice
You should read related threads for unlocking bootloder and then follow proper procedure.
U will definitely succeed.

Hi, I've started looking into rooting my T and started finding out if I could unlock my bootloader to start off with, when I saw that in my service info menu I can't unlock the bootloader... What can I do now? I would like to install custom kernels and ROMs but can't with this in place. I'm with o2, using the James bond edition. Any help please? Cheers!

If the service menu says no, then you cannot unlock your bootloader,which means no custom kernels and that you are limited to custom ROMs that are stock based

Have fun,
1. you have to pay
2. you need a removable battey
if you have a removable battery good luck (But you have the LT30p, so no removable battery), but be careful, because if you get the wrong test point you will HARD brick your phone. And without knwong which is the test point.its all a guess
It says that newer models have the same unlock code nowadays. At any rate I'm afraid I can't test right now

Stumbling block 1 with this method
How are you going to remove your battery to find the test point?
do you not think this would have already been tried...its already a method used on xda, I used it to unlock my neo (The free method).But on the T..how are you going to get the back off without specialist tools
What I'm going to do is first just SIM unlock and see the config menu to see if the unlock status has changed. I'm not going to interfere with the hardware. I might also ask my carrier why that's in place and if they can do anything about it. That's my plan so far... I don't know much about the programming of android but I presume that this is simply a value which is similar to Boolean; true or false, so would it not just be a matter of finding the relevant code and changing it? Like taking the (I'm assuming that this would be in system file maybe?) Files of a t with unlock allowed and comparing it to one with unlock denied? Or simply flashing a generic firmware which is unbranded? I only know a bit of visual basic, so sorry if this sounds stupid. I'm still a learner

If it was that simple, it would already be done. We have devs with EMMC access that can not do that yet, so a pleasent phone call to your carrier is not llikely to work.
Thanks for enquiring, and if you have any ideas please PM bin4ry or the_laser, they are the guys that are up to date with this,

greg
I can confirm that having the SIM lock removed by your carrier will not change the bootloader unlock status. Done this with my Xperia T skyfall edition being locked to o2, SIM unlock Code given by o2 but bootloader is still locked and not available to unlock
Just another note updated firmware but lock is still there, just encase anybody was thinking after updating it may have changed.

Hi do all XDA users. I'm oppening this thread in order to try repair this phone. When trying to make a call the phone disconect the dial.

It's locked to Uk Vod. If possible help me to root this phone. I tought was easy like my htc sensation but looks not.

Sorry about that but I'm portuguese and i'm trying using google translator.
What I meant is if it's possible to change roms.
You missplaced your thread. But it's been fixed by the forum moderators now.
About your problem, I suggest you to backup your important data, delete everything from the phone memory, and flash some stock ROM using Odin.
There are plenty of guides here on XDA to do so.
If you're still confused PM me in about 5 hours and I can help you in (Brazilian) Portuguese. Might be a little better.

Did you manage to get your phone onto the EURO Firmware or you just unlocked your current firmware ?
To unlock the phone and install a custom ROM I take it that you must root the device first so :-
1) root
2) Unlock
3) cwm
4) custom rom
I am coming from a Galaxy S2 which I did not have to root just use ODIN so thats why I am asking because I want to go straight to custom CM10
I unlocked 262-001..... And

I wish people would stop perpetuating this stupid myth that unlocking your bootloader invalidates your warranty. It doesn't necessarily do so at all.
If you over-clock the CPUs and blow the phone up then you are unlikely to get help from LG, but if your screen falls there is no reason for them to refuse the repair.
It's all down to what you do with it and how you unlock. If the official method works then you are far more likely to get help than if you use the other methods and blow different fuses.
It also depends how you bought the phone and where you live.
